Chapter 112 The Battle for the Throne

Although Ji Fa tried hard to embellish his ancestor's actions, the more Li Yanmo listened, the more he felt that it was Emperor Yu who was scheming against the Zhuge family. If Emperor Yu was not also a victim of the Ministry of Works, Li Yanmo would have been certain that it was Emperor Yu who was plotting against the Zhuge family.

However, after hearing the information about the Zhuge family provided by Ji Fa, Li Yanmo became more and more certain that the Zhuge family was the big money-spending family he was looking for.

It would be even better if I could take over the Zhuge family’s debts.

"Actually, I want to go to Jingzhou to find the Zhuge family and persuade them to join my sect. Tianxu Tower can't always rely on the inventory of the Dayu Dynasty. If it is used too often, it will inevitably arouse suspicion," Li Yan crossed his fingers in front of him and stated his plan and purpose very frankly.

"Ah, this! Brother Li, you absolutely cannot do this! Although it is true that our Dayu Dynasty has its reasons, the Zhuge family has long been in decline, and their weapon-refining skills are not as good as before. Not only are they basically living off their past achievements, but they have also passed down their usual bad habits!"

Upon hearing that Li Yanmo actually wanted to recruit the Zhuge family, Ji Fa was shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Ji Fa's reaction made Li Yanmo determined to recruit the Zhuge family.

"Brother Ji Ba, people will change, and the world is unpredictable. Maybe... the heir of the Zhuge family is unusually hardworking, frugal, and intelligent?" Li Yanmo smiled slightly.

“You… you might as well hope that Lily Jiang doesn’t pick her feet when she practices medicine,” Ji Fa muttered, and was extremely pessimistic about Li Yanmo’s trip. “But if you insist on going, then I can’t stop you. I’ll tell the governor of Jingzhou later and ask them to adjust the arrangements.”

"Arrange? What else did you do?"

Li Yanmo's face was full of vigilance, which made Ji Fa complain repeatedly, "The Dayu Dynasty is not an evil dynasty. It was not just us who had eyes for the Zhuge family. The Taoist sect was the same. The Zhuge family got involved in gambling because of the Taoist sect."

"They really are lending money and really want to arrest the Zhuge family. Even now, we have arranged for the sect to keep an eye on the Zhuge family. In order to let the Zhuge family have a good end, we have specially established several ruthless gangs in Ganzhou to take turns to keep an eye on them."

"…It sounds like if I can't have it, I definitely can't let anyone else have it."

“…”

Ji Fa was speechless.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Ji Ba to help tell the governor of Jingzhou."

Li Yanmo stood up and was about to say goodbye but was stopped by Ji Fa.

"Brother Li, do you still remember the Demon Immortal Cult?"

When the Demon Immortal Sect was mentioned, Li Yanmo's expression became a little grim, and he sat down. "Of course I remember. The Dayu Dynasty planned to completely wipe out the Demon Immortal Sect?"

"The Great Yu Dynasty has always wanted to wipe out the Demon Immortal Sect, but the place where the Demon Immortal Sect originated is very difficult to find," Ji Fa sighed softly. "The Demon Immortal Sect originated in Chi Che. The people there believe that humans are born as demons and have the responsibility to transform all beasts and enlighten their minds. They worship the demons and immortals in the legend."

"They firmly believed that they were right, and their actions of enlightening the beasts even attracted the righteousness of heaven and earth."

"So Chiche monsters are rampant, and monsters are the most respected."

"The military sect believes that the city should be demolished directly. The Buddhist sect is caught up in the debate about people being born as demons and chooses to remain neutral. The Taoist sect accuses the military sect of abusing force and that the Chiche people's choice should be respected. The great Confucian scholars of the Confucian sect are arguing in the court and have proposed to interfere with the Holy Pillar several times."

"The current Emperor Yu is afraid of the consequences of arbitrarily changing the righteousness of heaven and earth, so he can only act in secret."

Hearing this, Li Yanmo knew the reason for the delay. "So why are you telling me this?"

"The people of Chiche made their own choice, so the Yu Dynasty naturally cannot interfere. However, the innocent people were already endangered that night in Risheng City, and the current Emperor Yu has made up his mind to eradicate the Demon Immortal Cult," Ji Fa picked up the teacup and shook it gently, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. "The problem is that the East China Sea Dragon Palace is planning to hold a dragon transformation conference in Chiche at this time, which has attracted many famous demon geniuses to Chiche."

"If the army attacks at this time, it may cause this monster tide to come earlier. The defense line of Wan Yao Mountain is not yet complete. If a monster tide occurs at this time, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Will many people die?" Li Yanmo realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I'm afraid we will have to use the Zhuxian toilet plunger array created by the Ministry of Industry," Ji Fa said with a painful expression, "By then, even if the Great Yu Dynasty wins, it will have lost face, and the Ministry of Industry will naturally innovate the magic weapons of the soldiers' sect."

Well, even the toilet plunger is about to be forced out, it's really serious.

"So why are you telling me this? I'm just a small Qi-cultivating and foundation-building cultivator," Li Yanmo said helplessly.

"Then we have to start with the origin of the dragon race."

“Can I skip it?”

Ji Fa immediately looked at Leng Ningshuang in embarrassment, asking for help, but Leng Ningshuang had no intention of helping him. She sneered, "They are just a bunch of lizards who think they have great business sense but are losing so much money that they can barely keep their pants. Have you ever seen anyone cooperate with the Taotie clan in order to compete with the Pixiu clan for the money bank business?"

"Sorry, I'm a little curious suddenly." Li Yanmo immediately became interested when he heard that the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea was a powerful man who cooperated with Taotie to open a money house.

"Ahem - besides humans who are born with intelligence, there is also a group of creatures who are born with intelligence, such as dragons, phoenixes, and various fierce and auspicious beasts. Their appearance was extremely abrupt, but because it was too long ago, even before the Great Wilderness, there is no way to verify it. However, one thing is certain, they appeared much later than humans."

Ji Fa coughed and started to speak confidently.

"The dragon clan is the strongest among them. Because they are connected to the emperor's aura, they helped the Shun Dynasty and the Yu Dynasty at the beginning of their establishment, and never attacked anyone. Therefore, the Yu Dynasty acquiesced to their imitation of the dynasty to establish the five major dragon palaces in the southeast, northwest, northeast and center."

"The only thing that bothers the Dayu Dynasty is that the dragons are social terrorists. They have good relationships with everyone. And because they love doing business, they have a lot of debts of favor. This Dragon Transformation Conference is probably a debt collection by the demons or other people who don't want the Dayu Dynasty to get rid of the big trouble of Chi Che."

"It could be Taoism, it could be Taoism, or it could be... Taoism."

Li Yanmo understood what Ji Fa meant, and his expression was strange. "So why are you telling me this?"

"Of course... to compete for the qualification to participate in the Dragon Transformation Conference. The winner will have the opportunity to bathe in dragon blood."

Ji Fa smiled mysteriously, but Leng Ningshuang ruthlessly exposed him.

"To put it nicely, it's called the Dragon Transformation Competition, to put it bluntly, it's called the Blood Selling Competition. Whoever pays the most money will get the dragon blood, and once the money is deposited, there will be no refund even if you don't get a place in the end."

"If you really want to bathe in dragon blood, you can just tell General Mo directly. With the inventory of the Dayu Dynasty and your contribution, you can bathe until you feel comfortable without spending a single spiritual stone."

"Ji Ba is after your 20 billion spirit stones and wants you to help him in the fight for the position of Emperor Yu."
